Surround Sound Installation
Surround Sound refers to the use of multiple audio tracks to envelop the movie watching or music listening audience, making them feel like they're in the middle of the action or concert.
High powered, multi-speakered sound systems have been mandatory in this market for years, but Lexus recently raised the stakes by offering, as an option, a system with indisputable high-end credentials.
Like stereophonic sound, the original Dolby Stereo had three front channels and a surround-sound channel. But instead of using magnetic tracks, it reverted back to the superior optical track technology to allow for clearer sound playback. Dolby stereo also used an advanced noise-reduction process, which improved sound quality further. The real innovation of Dolby Stereo is how so much audio information is squeezed into a small space on the film. When Dolby engineers started working on the new format, they figured out they would only be able to fit two optical tracks in the available space.
True surround sound formats rely on dedicated speakers that literally and physically surround the audience. There is one center speaker which carries most of the dialog, and part of the soundtrack. There are left and right front speakers that carry most of the soundtrack, and may carry parts of the dialog.
A high performance, five inputs Surround Sound Processor designed to provide up to eight channels of surround sound for pro A/V applications in corporate and commercial environments. The included control software offers a user-friendly GUI for setup and operation.
The surround sound movie soundtrack allows the audience to hear sounds coming from all around them, and plays a large part in realizing what movie makers call suspended disbelief. Suspended disbelief is when the audience is completely captivated by the movie experience and is no longer aware of their real-world surroundings. The SSP 7.1 automatically detects and decodes audio content in various Dolby and DTS formats from DVD, Blu-ray Disc, and HDTV broadcasts. The SSP 7.1 features coaxial and optical digital inputs, plus an analog balanced/unbalanced two-channel input. It is designed for integration into pro A/V installations, with a compact, rack-mountable metal enclosure, as well as RS-232 serial control and balanced/unbalanced line level outputs.

Statutory Sick Leave (SSP)?
If a person is under probationary period at work and he / she takes Statutory Sick Leave (SSL), is he / she entitled to his / her sick leave ?
Or can the employer deny his / her wage ?
Reference to answer is highly appreciated
If you are in the UK go to this link http://www.dwp.gov.uk/lifeevent/benefits/statutory_sick_pay.asp
This should give you all the answers you need.
Can I get it? (SSP)
You must have worked for your employer under a contract of service. Even if it is your first day of work with a new employer and you become sick part way through the day you may be entitled to SSP.
To get SSP you must be:
Aged between 16 or over and under 65 (these age limits will be removed from 1 October 2006).
Sick for at least 4 or more days in a row (including weekends and bank holidays). This is known as a Period of Incapacity for Work.
Earn, before tax and National Insurance an average of £84.00 a week. This is called the Lower Earnings Limit for National Insurance Contributions (NIC). The amount you need to earn is lower than the amount when you have to start paying NIC’s.
Your earnings are averaged, over an 8 week period before your sickness began. This period may vary slightly depending on whether you are paid weekly or monthly paid, or at other intervals. If you have just started your job the calculation may be different, contact your employer for more information.
If you answer YES to all the above, claim SSP
If you want to know how much you have to earn for NI purposes, contact your Jobcentre, Jobcentre Plus or Social security office
When does SSP start?
SSP is a daily payment and is usually paid for the days that you would normally work. The days that you would normally work are known as Qualifying Days (QDs)
SSP is not paid for the first three QDs, in any period of sickness unless it falls within a linking period. See - What else should I know for information about “Linking Periods”
How much will I get?
If your average earnings before deductions such as tax and National Insurance (NI) are £84.00 a week or more:
Standard rate £70.05 from April 2006
How do I claim?
Telling your employer you are sick
To get SSP, you should tell your employer that you are sick as soon as possible. You employer may have their own rules for when and how you tell them you are sick (please check with your employer).
However they cannot insist that you tell them:
in person
earlier than the first qualifying day or by a set time
on a special form
on a medical certificate
more than once a week during your sickness
Your employer may not pay you SSP if you tell them you are sick more than 7 days after you are first became sick.
Evidence that you are sick
Your employer will ask you for evidence that you are sick. This will usually be in the form of a sick note from your doctor.
But your employer cannot ask you to provide a sick note, for the first 7 days that you are sick. They may ask you to fill in a self-certificate of their own or form SC2 which you can get from your GP's surgery, your nearest HM Revenue & Customs office or HM Revenue & Customs website.
How is it paid?
Your employer will pay SSP to you in the same way and at the same time as your normal wages.

What else should I know?
If you have more than one job you may be entitled to SSP from each employer.
Your employer cannot end your contract of service to avoid paying SSP.
If you are away from work because of trade union action, you will not get SSP.
If you are in legal custody, you will not get SSP.
Linking
If you have been sick for two spells or more of at least 4 days in a row with 8 weeks or less between them, they will be counted as one Period of Incapacity for Work. This means that waiting days will not be served for the second period of sickness.
If you have been in receipt of Incapacity Benefit or Severe Disablement Benefit within 8 weeks of being sick, you are not entitled to SSP because you can reclaim IB or SDB. Some people will also be entitled to reclaim IB or SDB if they are sick again within 52 weeks of a previous illness, and would not be entitled to SSP during this time. Subject to Parliamentary approval, this 52 week period will extend to 104 weeks (2 years) from October 2006. You will have received a linking letter from your Jobcentre Plus or Social Security office, give this to your employer.
Pregnancy
If you receive SSP for a pregnancy related illness at the start of or in the 4 weeks before your baby is due, SSP will stop and any entitlement to Statutory Maternity Pay (SMP) or Maternity Allowance (MA) will start automatically.
If you are entitled to SMP or MA, you cannot get SSP for 26 weeks starting with the day of entitlement to those payments.
If you are not entitled to SMP or MA, you cannot get SSP for 18 weeks starting with:
the Sunday of the week your baby is born; or
the Sunday of the week you are sick from work for a pregnancy related illness
Occupational Sick Pay Schemes
Many employers have their own sick pay scheme. If your employer has a sick pay scheme, which is equal to, or more than SSP, they may have different rules for payment, which you must keep to receive payment.

If SSP ends, claim Incapacity Benefit (This link will take you to the Jobcentre Plus website)
What happens if my employer says I do not qualify or my SSP ends?
If you cannot get SSP or your SSP has ended ask your employer for form SSP1, which they should fill in and give to you. You will need to send this form to your local social security office with your claim for Incapacity Benefit.
If you think your employer’s decision to not pay you SSP is wrong, or they did not pay when they should have done, or they paid too little and you cannot sort it out with your employer (they should give the reasons in writing), contact your local HM Revenue & Customs office to decide the matter. Find your local office at www.hmrc.gov.uk/enq/index.htm

I am already getting it. What happens if:
I go into hospital?
SSP is not affected however long you are in hospital.
I go to live abroad or to visit?
If you work abroad you may be able to get SSP if your employer is liable to pay NI contributions for you. If you go abroad to visit, SSP can still be paid provided you can prove you are still sick. Most other benefits are affected if you are going abroad. You can get more information about certain countries through this site.
I am part of a service family living abroad or visiting?
Serving members of the Armed Forces cannot get SSP, but members of their families may be able to get it. See above.
